Random Thoughts... [Automotive Edition]

That 500 looks good, but I'd much rather get an Abarth and have it sprayed a deep red.
 
Oh joy of joys. A friend of mine who currently owns a Dolomite Sprint has told me the petrol for it is too expensive and he is thinking of selling it. And buying a Porsche 924. Yes he is 17. And yes, he has found a way round the insurance problems. And yes, I am jealous of the fact that I cannot afford a car. FML.

Autoblog commenter quote of the day
autoblog's random audience said:
I dunno if I'd wanna live in a world where every Camry had 750HP and RWD...frankly most drivers are terrible enough as it is with 160HP under the hood.
I could just see how wintertime would be if the best selling car in America was a 750HP RWD beast.
On the bright side I suppose natural selection would take place really quickly to thin out the lousy drivers.
 
I had a new key made for my car today. It cost 8?, and I no longer have to fear that the key will break every time I turn it :)

Also, I just found out that a local scrubby (faded black paint, purple tinted windows and a white rear hatch) stw Sierra that I see everytime I go to the train station has 353 rwhp :shock:

EDIT: Pic of said car from a thread at a Finnish Ford forum:

I've only just noticed that it has a maroon drivers mirror aswell :p Bear in mind that it weighs around 1300kg and has ~400hp at the crank.

Got rear ended the other day by some douchebag not paying attention. It was low speed so nothing bad, but put a nice scratch and dent in my fender. More to add to the list of damage not caused by me on this car :-x
 
Ever wondered what "Liana" stands for (yeah, the old Reasonably Priced Car)?

Then stop not wondering because I have the answer:


Liana: Life In A New Age...

Yep, that simple :-D

^combo breaker. :rolleyes:

Are the Lexus SC's (the older 5-door hatch version) entirely useless, or worth looking at?

D'you mean the IS300 Sportcross (5-door hatch) or the 2JZ non-turbo SC coupes? They're both high up on the very short list of Lexus cars that have character.
 
Ugh. It seems no one is willing to make a custom fiber glass hood scoop.
